Email Never Died.
How To Build Community through an
E-Newsletter
The Story of
Nolalicious.com
@nolalicious
Email didn’t die,
isn’t dead,
and isn’t going to die.
© ALL PHOTOS TAYLOR DAVIDSON | @TDAVIDSONNOLALICIOUS.COM
But that’s not why we
started NOLAlicious.
NOLALICIOUS.COM © ALL PHOTOS TAYLOR DAVIDSON | @TDAVIDSON
We made a couple key
decisions.
NOLALICIOUS.COM
Email newsletter, not a blog.
Keep it a side project.
Previews, not reviews.
Once a week.
Keep it inexpensive.
Go, Do, See, Eat, Lagniappe.
Try new things.
Listen to the community.
Keep it personal.

And it took off.

We tested and played
along the way.
For example: Contests, Amazon picks,
Travel, Jobs, t-shirts, calendars, Wallpaper
photos, layout changes, website changes,
Index, Advertising

Every week, another
newsletter, another lesso
NOLALICIOUS.COM
If you want sign-ups, make it dead simple to
sign up.
Embrace constraints.
Consistency.
Engage.
Monitor everything.
Shifts and pivots.
Integrate.

It need not be
expensive: we’ve spent
less than $800 on
NOLAlicious.
Time, attention and
passion are the keys.

How can you add
an email newsletter
to your existing
business?

Three takeaways:
NOLALICIOUS.COM
Social media gets the attention, but email is still
a part of the pie.
People don’t want email. But they do want
curated, relevant and timely pointers and
summaries of what they need to know.
Listen, respond. Measure, shift. Always be
learning.
